Long sleeved shirts and black pants

I'm now a working adult!

Well not exactly...i'm just a tiny little intern in the mammoth that's Keppel Land. Today's my second day at work, and i'm already using MSN, surfing the net and BLOGGING! (now = lunchtime) I am also concurrently trying to paint a picture on Microsoft Paint with just my touchpad. Not easy. Of course, this is not to say that I haven't been given any work, just that things here seem to be going a tad slower than I've expected. They were telling me that it's going to be really busy but no leh, where got? I think at some offices the definition of busyness is different from other places.

This morning I decided to relieve my mum of the responsibility of driving me to work, and took the bus instead. During which many things happened:

1. I found out that i forgot to zip my pants, which would have been disastrous if I had gone to office without realizing.
2. I figured out how to discreetly solve this problem with the help of my slingbag and a busload of sleeping commuters.
3. I saw a newspaper guy distributing TODAY to waiting passengers with Kung Fu efficiency. Really... half crouched, legs spread apart, thrusting the papers as though they were lethal knives into his enemies. Who just stood there jostling to be killed. It was quite a sight!

I also read that Taylor Hicks is now the hot favourite for American Idol glory, with gorgeous Mcphee as the underdog. To think that I was faced with ridicule when I first suggested after the Top 12 episode that Taylor was my American Idol winner! HAH. what have you got to say now sera???? At least now even Simon has nothing to say. To be honest, Taylor was always the Idol finalist who's the most likely to make 5 albums without people tiring of him. Just looking at his face and body language already makes you wanna smile, even though his dance moves are sometimes rather horrific. But new dance moves are always greeted with horror and derision, no? So don't worry Taylor, very soon we're going to have grey-haired teenage girls spasming their way into alcohol lalaland on the dance floor. That's EVEN if Katharine were to stage an upset and walk away with the Idol title.

I can't wait for Battlestar Galactica to start again!!!! Don't we all miss Sharon? Even though she's now evil Cylon Sharon, but no one cares! Again another brilliant TV series that's dismissed by the uninformed as 70s bullshit. Till then, though, I will have to content myself with Singapore Idol and the World Cup, which already promises to contribute to drastically reduced productivity all over the world. And lots of bleary-eyed students and workers everywhere.
